Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

One of the biggest game releases of last year was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. With a huge cross-platform multiplayer following, we have decided to include Modern Warfare 2 because despite its hardcore appeal to FPS players, it handles low detail settings very well.

We set Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to its lowest settings, with V-Sync disabled and the resolution was set to 1280x800. We manually ran the first part of the Special Ops Alpha campaign for 90 seconds, three times over with FRAPS 3.03 and took an average result.



The HD 4330 performs as we'd expect: slightly below the more recent HD 5450, but above all the integrated graphics chipsets, and well ahead of the Nvidia Ion PC. Modern Warfare 2 was certainly playable at 30FPS, but obviously not as smooth as the HD 5450 that benefits the fast paced shooter, which commands over 40FPS minimum.
